    I work on the Military side of this airport, nice to see what the civilian side looks like. For all her troubles, its a beautiful country. Hopefully one day the Afghan people will have peace.
    Edit: I am also Irish and although I never grew up or lived in a war zone myself, that was because of sacrifices made by generations before, so now my country has peace. Afghans are good people, you deserve peace.

    In 1989 I travelled to India with Ariana Airways, with one stop off in Prague. It was a a real adventure! At Heathrow the lady at book in wished us luck. Of course the flight was delayed. They did look after us at the airport very well. Our flight was too late for our connection in Prague. So we had to stay in Prague for a couple of days. They looked after us well (hotel, etc) as could be expected in what was at that time behind the iron curtain. We were called back to the airport on the second day. On arrival we were to learn the pilot was ill so couldn’t fly. With no other pilots available we had to wait. Eventually they sorted somebody to fly the plane and so rather than go direct to Deli , we were to fly via Kabul and finally Deli.
    Just before banking to land at Kabul we were picked up by fighter jets, one on either side of our plane. They were dropping flares to deflect heat seeking missiles that were targeting planes coming into Kabul. Have to admit the flares were stunning. We luckily made a safe landing and were rushed if the tarmac into a transit lounge. It was basically a freeze block room, wooden bench seats and a truly stinky toilet through a door in the corner. What you have now is pure luxury by comparison. We had to wait until things settled down. Nowhere to get something to eat or drink just wait. A chap (with a hat on the side of his head, crumpled white shirt partially pushed into his navy trousers) turned up to tell us he was the head of crashes and that our flight was broken!! We would have to take the next flight out which was going to Moscow, Tashkent and then Deli. In the time waiting. this room was filling up with Afghanis with sheep, goats and large bags of grain. I was totally fascinated by the mix of people that were arriving in this “safe” room. We were just not going to be able to all fit on the plane that we could see on the runway. At some point the crash man again turned up, said our plane was ok now and we all had to rush onto the plane to get out of the airport. He didn’t encourage any faith in our flight actually staying in the air...but we had no alternative. Before take off I nodded off in my seat and awoke to the pilot talking to the toilet door. An air hostess had locked herself in because she was terrified of going to Moscow. Oh eventually the captain sorted it out, off we went to Moscow. To our delight Moscow worked out fine and after a few minutes in the air we were told we wouldn’t be stopping over in Tashkent, we were actually going direct to Deli. That’s what happened. Weirdly, in Deli we hired a taxi to get us to our hotel....guess what? .... it broke down on the way!! A fitting end to a crazy, crazy flight. Ah the food on the Russian to Deli leg of the flight was actually delicious, rustic but delicious.

Are you aware of it ?????? 4 million people is a big big number and now you people say Pakistan is doing terrorism there . Please sister get your facts right . If Pakistan was this bad we would never have hosted you people for decades in our country putting so much pressure on us tax payers . I still remember as a kid that Afghans use to live in a suburb in Karachi and going over there was like getting robbed as you people never use to work which I see here in Australia as well that Afghan refugees are on center link and getting money from Australian govt.

    Hi Josh ,
    I flew with Ariana in 1991 from London to Delhi , was cheapest option at that time ,
    London to Prague,Prague to Kabul, Kabul to Delhi , on return leg we stopped in Tashkent and Moscow which was a very long journey, I’ll never forget getting off the plane in Kabul and seeing those magical mountains stunning! Think the aircraft used back then were old tupolevs can’t remember what the cuisine was though,Great trip report sir , brought back many memories for me 👍

      Al-Qaeda
      Lashkar-e-Omar
      Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)

    Thank you! When I was in Kabul in the mid 80s I remember the airport arrival lounge windows being full of bullet holes. There was a stuffed mountain goat in the entrance to passport control, which was also damaged by gunfire. Our aircraft spiralled steeply in to land, firing decoy flares to attract the mujahuddin SA missiles away from us. We had livestock in the cabin and the seats were not bolted down. Was an interesting intro to a beautiful country.

It is the fighting of Muslim factions followed by the Soviet invasion that started their downfall. Every nation should take care of their own people. It is not the job of western nations to take care of the world. Kabul can be wonderful again; only if the Afghans want it that way.
